Title: Promised pics of my new peep
Post by: Casey76 on February 14, 2011, 09:19
My single little peep... though I'm just as amazed that she hatched at all!  My first chick from one of my OWN eggs :D

Dad was a bantam silver laced dotte, mum is a wheaten Marans cross (LF)

I've had a look at her feathers and am 95% sure she is a pullet, yay!

I'm going to be even worse this weekend as I'm moving 10 CLB eggs to the hatcher on Thursday for a Sunday hatch (hooooooopefully!!!)
